Capt Dave reports an okay day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. The weather today could not be any better for fishing, but unfortunately the fish bite was slow. We found that the fish were biting better on the drifts rather than on anchor so we spent most our day drifting. We had a…

Capt Dave reports a rough day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. The strong wind today made for some difficult fishing, to get out of the gusts we tucked ourselves in close to the island this morning and picked through a lot of little fish. As the day progressed and the wind eased up we got the chance to work our way offshore and found some better fishing. with better conditions, anglers were able to get themselves some larger size fish with everyone boating about a bucket of porgies each and a few SeaBass. The pool winner today went to Mr. Park from Queens with a 2.6 lb Porgy. We are fishing tomorrow at 5am. The office will open at 4am for ticket sales. Come on out there is plenty of space!

Capt Dave reports very good fishing on the Viking Starship. We headed straight offshore and found plenty out there. After a couple of anchor drops and moving around, we moved closer to the island and got in a few drifts. It was pretty much a steady pick of mixed bag fishing.

The edible pool winner was Tony Sanders from Jerico, NY with a 6 lb Cod. We are fishing tomorrow at 5am. The office will open at 4am for ticket sales. Come on out there is plenty of space!
